+1. That's true of a lot of workout equipment. Look around a gym sometime at people trudging along on treadmills or ellipticals: bad posture, slouched over like they're pushing a shopping cart, watching TV, etc. You
can get a good workout on exercise equipment, but with many machines, you won't unless yo're diligent. They have programs and lights and such, but the feedback they give you is still pretty limited: if you're riding a bike and you're seriously doggin' it, you'll start weaving all over the road.
